Food Blog Analysis


On the 5th week of my English course at Aoyama Gakuin University, each of our classmates did an analysis on the assigned award-winning food blogs, and I'd like to share the outcome of my own.

The food blog I analyzed is called pinchofyum.
If you're interested in visiting this award-winning food blog, here is the link.

Purpose

Pinchofyum originally started in 2010 as a casual hobby of the creator, and it has now grown into a full-blown business. Which means, the purpose of this blog is primarily for making money, although she may be still running it for the sake of self-satisfaction since the creator is also sharing bits and pieces of her life on the blog.

About creator/voice

Lindsay is the name of the creator as well as the voice.
The voice is casual. She uses a rather conversational language, and capital letters for the words she wants to emphasize. 



Media used/Userfriendliness

You can easily search up for a specific food recipe by typing in the name of a dish, or simply click on the images of the dish categories and surf the blog for finding the dish you desire.
The design and layouts are amazing too.
There's however too much information on the recipe pages which makes it a little harder to find the recipe itself, so this blog may not be for someone who is trying to find a recipe for a dinner coming up in an hour.

Interactive aspects

There are links for various social medias (e.g. Twitter, Instagram, etc.). Moreover, one can even rate and comment on the recipes, and the moderators will most likely react on the comments. Thus, the blog is very interactive.

Social or political messages

As far as I see, there were no social/political messages to be found.

My impression of the blog

Overall, the blog is very sophisticated. However, I personally would not use it very often since there are too much information that I don't need for cooking a dish.

2023 World Food Day in Russia

For the World Food Day assignment, I searched about Russia's activity on the internet. Unfortunately, I could not find much about Russia's activity itself due to the flooding information of Russia-Ukrain war related articles, but that is also a strongly relevant topic when it comes to world hunger. Thus, I am going to introduce you all what I found during my research. Is Russia helping world hunger? As of 2023, the answer was no as far as I researched. Russia's Ukraine invasion has largely disrupeted world's trading , along with the reduction of agricultural production in Ukraine. This could have or maybe even did damage the economy and food distribution in vulnerable countries related to this trading. At the United Nation's Security Council, Russia was pressured to revive Ukrainian grain shipments and avert the global food crisis by developing countries, western nations and even its ally China. However, Russia didn't give any effort to make things better . I...

Hungry Planet - Australia

On 12/7 I did a presentation about an Australian family and their food consumption featured on the book called Hungry Planet in the english class, and I thought it would be a great idea to share it in this blog, so here we go. The pictures above show the typical Australian foods . You may have heard about Vegemite , the fermented spread, but there are much more than just that! Timtam , the chocolate bar is a classic Australian snack, and just like in Great Britain they eat meat-pies, fries, burgers, and grilled chicken . The unique one is fairy bread , a simple sugar toast commonly eaten by children at birthday parties in Australia. Also, major part of Australian cuisine is based on seafoods due to its location. This is the Molly family and their weekly consumed foods . In the middle stands Emily , the mother of the family. The man next to her is the father John , and the girl is their daughter Nathalie . Finally, the boy staring at the huge vegetable is Sean , smallest child of t...

THE WORLD FOOD PROBLEM - David Grigg

For my book report assignment, I chose "The World Food Problem (2nd Edition)" by David Grigg. I have only read few pages of the book so far, but I'm assuming that the content of this book is going to be a description and records of histories related to food problems - or malnourishment more specifically - in various developing countries. To be honest I'm not really a big fan of books, but hunger is an issue that I especially sympathize to, so I will put as much effort as possible to understand this issue. However, the book is apparently outdated. So if there's any recommendations of the books similar to this topic, let me know in the comment section below! I'll put a link to the amazon, just in case anyone wants to read it too. https://www.amazon.com/World-Food-Problem-David-Grigg/dp/0631176330
